Kevin Durant of the Phoenix Suns delivered a touching post-game comment following their win over the Washington Wizards, reflecting on his journey and the moments that shaped his NBA career. The Phoenix Suns earned a 130-123 win over the Washington Wizards in a NBA game that many expected to go their way.

Kevin Durant made his return to his hometown in the Suns win against the Wizards on Thursday and rejoiced in it.

The Phoenix Suns acquired Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards and a 2025 NBA draft second-round pick on Wednesday in exchange for wing player Josh Okogie and three future second-round NBA draft selections. Richards is averaging 8.9 points per game and 7.5 rebounds per game this season, in 21 minutes of action per game.

The Phoenix Suns have made a trade. No, not that trade. Jimmy Butler remains a member of the Miami Heat for the time being, but even as the Suns continue to try to pry him away, they have managed to make a deal of another sort by acquiring Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards along with a 2025 Denver Nuggets second-round pick for Josh Okogie and three second-round picks: two from the Nuggets (2026 and 2031) along with a Suns original (2031).
